Persecutfng squawmen.

CHICAGO, June "a special from
Little Rock, Arkansas, says: Reports
from the Choctaw nation are to the
effect that trouble between full bloods
and half breeds is growing in intensity
and has in many cases terminated in
bloodshed. The governor of the nation
and local authorities are doing all in
their power to preserve peace and pro
tect lives and property, but the men
who are at the bottom of the trouble
are desperadoes, many of whom have a
price on their heads, hence peaceful
settlement seems impossible. Rumors
of murders and deeds of lawlessness fly
thick and fast while many families con-
tinue to leave the country. There is an
i'll suppressed bitterness against whites
who have inter-married with ChOctaw
women, thus acquiring rights in the ma
ton and these "SQuaWmen, as they are
termed, are the objects of persecution
Many of the full bloods urge the ex-
| pulsion of every white man in the
Choctaw territory, giving as reason
that they are dangerous in stirring Ut
strife between full bloods and half
breeds and are constantly encroacllinr
on Indian rights. A party of whites
and half breeds were attacked Monday
on Buffalo creek by a band of full
bloodS. In the melee several wers
wounded on either side and two fatal
~. The attacking party retreated.

The strike Illegal.

the Knights Of Labor 1 executive board d
who have been investigating the strike
in the coke region have forwarded a
report to the general board. They find
the strike is illegal and recommend
members of the knights of Labor to
return to work, and also sustain the
umpire's award. They make no per-
emptory order to return to work, but
say the Knights of Labor must abide
by the decision and wait until some
future conference to secure the adj
vance in wages to which they are justly
entitled. 1t is believed the knights of
Labor will go to work again.

ST. LOUIS, June "A special from
Chihuahua, Mexico, says: A terrible
panic prevailed here yesterday after
noon in the Catholic cathedral, caused
by the falling of candle setting fire to
one of the affairs. The day being a re-
ligious holiday, the house was crowded
to overlooking, principally with
women and children. At the
sight of smoke the crowd became fran
tic and the usual scenes of a terror
stricken struggle followed. Several
children were killed and quite a num-
Der of women severely injured. The
scene at the main entrance of
the church was pitiful to
behold. Women and children were
lying about grOaning with pain, while
doctors were doing their utmost to re-
susticate the sufferers. Official re-
ports of the killed are not obtainable at
this hour.

White Men Debarred.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June ga local pa
per states that the Mobile s. Ohio have
have drawn the color line in the excur-
sion rates to the meeting of the
Knights of Labor in Mobile, August
9th. The ticket secures the privilege
to a particular class, shutting out great
crowds. The way this is done is by stamp
ing the ticket ''colored,'' so that none
but citizens of the African race shall be
able to avail themselves of the re-
duction. This savors of unlawful dis
elimination against the white man, but
colored men will want to go to Mobile
in August. However, the ticket
scalper is grumbling and will probably
take the case in hand.

An,a~onIzIng PoIVderIy

CHICAGO, June "A morning paper
publishes the following: At last night S
meeting of district assembly "a a secret
circular from Philadelphia was re-
ceived, officially notifying the Chicago
Knights of the expulsion of district as
sembly 226, and warning them against
receiving any travelling or transfer
cards from that assembly. The dis
trict was not expelled, such action be-
ing unconstitutional. No action was
taken and the document was very
coldly received. Another and an ex-
tremely interesting circular is being
received by secretaries of all local as
sembIies in this city and all over the
United States. 1t emanateS from dis
trict assembly 226 and is an appeal for
assistance and revenge. After review
ing the facts as above stated, from their
standpoint, it charges Master Work
man Powderly and the general executive
board with criminal incompetency and
hints boldly at corruption. Six speci-
fic violations of the constitution are
alleged. Barry is said to have been in
collision with the manufacturers and
his report is characterized as false in
every respect. He acted directly
against the men without holding any
consultation with them they say, and
declared the strike off upon the false
preteXt that the strike was against one
man who was member of the order
In other words, he deliberately sold
them out, they allege. and was sustain
ed in his action by the General EXecu-
tive Board. Their circular concludes
with an appeal to all assemblies to
arise and depOse PoWderly and the
corrupt and inefficient gang with
whom he has surrounded him
self. From every indication
the appeal viii be met with hearty
support from many Chicago local as
semblies. Antagonist to Powderly is
not confined to socialists and in this
fight socialism is not involved III the dis
pute. The inevitable struggle is be-
tween mixed assemblies and trades
unions. District 40 represents
the former and has formed an alliance
with PoWderly, one of the results of
which it claimed was to increase the
master workman's salary to So, 600.
With MOntauk and John Morrison dis
tricts in the east united in opposition
and Pacific coast assemblies, Burnett
G.. Haskell and radicals, both great
Chicago districts split on account of
Roman Catholicism, the relentless
war by powerful trades unions, the
avowed enmity of socialists and de-
cided GOODNESS on the part of anti-pro-
hibitionists, Mr.. Powderly's lot is not a
happy one.
